Portree - Scotland

The centre of the Isle of Sky is dominated by the Cuillin Mountains. They are absolutely spectacular and dramatic mountain scenery. The highest mountain top is 3255 ft / 992 m. Out here you might come across birds of prey and wild deer.

The only distillery on the Isle of Skye is called Talker Distillery. It proved 10 year old Single Matl Scotch Wiskey. Visit the distillery and see the 5 copper pot stills at work or take look at the oak casks in the warehouse.

There are some amazing hikes you can do around the island. Some of those hikes even start in town like the Scorrybreac circuit. Check the information above for details.

This museum depicts life on the island around the 19th century. Several thatched cottages are preserved.

This is one of the most iconic castle of Scotland. The Eileen Donan castle is situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet. The 6th century castle is surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

There is no cruise dock large enough to accomodate cruise ships in Portree. Therefore your ship will need to drop anchor and tender you to shore. The tender pier is located on the most recognizable street of Portree. From here it is an easy, uphill walk to the city center. You will find limited facilities on the dock. Please check our Portree cruise port guide for all the information.
